Bug#757152: python-pyatspi: Should depond on at-spi2-core OR qt-at-spi

[Samuel Thibault <sthibault@debian.org>]

Hello,

This package has very little to do with at-spi2 actually.
kdeaccessibility simply depends on the kde-ish accessibility tools
(magnifier, text to speech, etc.), while python-pyatspi is about having
screen reading support through at-spi2, which is completely independent
from the actual desktop being used.

I don't see the relation with the issue being discussed.

Gnome has a gnome-accessibility package, which simply depends on the
gnome-ish accessibility tools (magnifier, on-screen keyboard, etc.).
Same remark as above.

Again, people don't even really realize whether they are using a
gnome or KDE application is being used. So they *need* that both be
accessible, thus the dependency on whatever it takes to make both
accessible. And if openoffice needed a java bridge to get accessible
(like it does on windows), we would also have made depended on by
python-pyatspi.

What *actual* issue do you want to solve here?

(except disk space -I've shown that it's neglectible by nowadays'
standards- or KDE vs Gnome troll)
